Chapter 345: Island Capture Conference (text)
?
The four seas, with a radius of about 10 million nautical miles, are extremely vast, with countless large and small islands.
However, there are a number of real spiritual islands. Most of these islands are occupied by the four major sects, and a few are occupied by some powerful island owners. There are still some scattered forests, although they are not occupied by human immortal cultivators, but these islands are either occupied by some powerful fierce beast groups, or some extremely strange islands, no one dares to occupy them.
All of these islands occupied by the Sea Hunting Alliance are divided into categories according to their size and strength.
In the entire Sumeru Sea, the largest island is Yanfu Island. The size of this island is comparable to floating land on the sea, almost a million miles. On it, there is the Sumeru sect, the largest sect in the entire Sumeru Sea.
More importantly, this island is also in the center of the entire sea area, with Mount Meru, which has the strongest aura in the entire Sumeru Sea.
The Sumeru sect has this foundation, so it occupies the least number of islands among the four major sects. Except for some islands west of the easternmost sea boundary, there are some strongholds of the Sumeru sect, and the other islands are divided by the other three sect 'gates'.
The second-level islands are the super large islands occupied by the lands of the three major sects.
Shenmu Island, a million nautical miles to the west of Yanfu Island, is the place where the Heavenly Dao Sect was established.
Soul Refining Island, millions of nautical miles north of Yanfu Island, is the place where the Nine Ghost 'Gate' was established.
The Blood Demon Island, millions of nautical miles south of Yanfu Island, is the place where the Blood Demon Sect was established.
Although these three super islands cannot be compared with Yanfu Island, they are all super islands of tens of thousands of miles.
It is said that on these three super islands, there are extremely special spiritual veins.
In the center of Shenmu Island, there is a sacred tree, the diameter of which has reached a terrifying hundred miles, and its height is said to be higher than Mount Meru. The sect 'gate' of the Heavenly Dao Sect was built on top of this super huge divine tree.
On the Blood Demon Island, it is said that there is a blood lake about the size of a thousand miles in the center. The place of the Blood Demon Sect's sect's 'gate' was built around this lake.
And the Soul Refining Island is even more weird, it is said that this island is simply the corpse of a fallen ancient Netherworld Beast.
In addition to these three super islands, there are almost more than 30,000 spiritual vein islands in the Sumeru Sea occupied by immortal cultivators.
Depending on the size of the islands and the strength of the owners on them, these islands are subdivided into high-level islands, middle-level islands, and low-level islands.
Generally speaking, as long as there is a foundation building stage cultivation, you can serve as the owner of a low-level island, the owner of a middle-level island needs to cultivate at least the Dan stage, and a high-level island can only be a monk who has cultivated in the Yuan Infant stage.
Gengo Island is a middle-tier island. Qingyan Island and Jieli Island belong to low-level islands. That Qingyan Island is under the jurisdiction of Xuanwu Island, but the island owner and the disciples who guard the island outside the sea are the outer 'door' disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
However, because the location of Xuanwu Island is extremely special, it is located at the junction of the sea area of Shenmu Island and the sea area of the Blood Demon Sea, so the person who serves as the owner of this island is a fake infant monk who has cultivated to reach the great perfection in the late stage of the Dan period. Moreover, it is said that on this island, there are also several monks from the late stage of the Heavenly Dao Sect who are stationed there.
Counting the more than a dozen people who are attached to the master of Xuanwu Island on this island, the strength of this island can be called strong.
Moreover, within a radius of thousands of miles from this island, it was all supported by a powerful magic circle, and even the idle Yuan Infant Monk could not break it.
There are about 100 low-level islands within 100,000 nautical miles in the vicinity, all of which are under the control of Xuanwu Island. Some of the island masters on it are disciples from the Heavenly Dao Sect, and some are attached to Xuanwu Island during the foundation building period.
In the deck cabin of the sea ship, Wu Yan sat cross-legged on the wooden couch, Xing Xiao, Zhou Tong and Zhou Ming brothers were all there, and the three of them sat cross-legged on the deck.
Wu Yan's face was indifferent, and the three of them were full of worry.
"Lord, how are your injuries?" Xing Xiao asked.
After Wu Yan learned of the current situation, he did not give any instructions, but retreated for several days to recuperate his injuries. The three of them were suddenly called here today, and they must have made a decision.
"It's almost fine. I have called you here to hear your thoughts on the future. Xing Xiao, Zhou Tong, Zhou Ming, you don't have any worries, what do you think, how do you say it. Wu Yan thought for a while and said.
"Lord, my subordinates think that with your magical means, it should not be a big problem to participate in the 'Island Capture Conference' and win the qualification of a low-level island master. It's just that I don't know if the Lord has this intention?" Xing Xiao asked as soon as he sank his beard slightly.
In the past few days, you have told me a lot about the Sumeru Sea, but you have said very little about the 'island seizure conference,' and there is even some ambiguity. Can you make it clear to me?" Wu Yan said with a frown.
Xing Xiao and the Zhou brothers, when they saw Wu Yan asking, they all showed a wry smile.
Zhou Channel: "Lord, it's not that his subordinates deliberately don't say it, but this 'Island Capture Conference', only those who sign up can know the specific rules and procedures." In order to ensure the confidentiality and fairness of the "Island Capture Conference", the rules and procedures of almost every "Island Capture Conference" have been changed. Moreover, the Lingmai Islands within the four seas have almost been occupied. Even if there is a vacant position of the island owner, it will be directly assigned by the three major sects, and it will no longer be included in the scope of contention. The islands that can be fought for now are the islands within the sea boundary, the islands in the free sea, and the unowned islands in the demon sea area outside the sea boundary and facing the sea clan. These islands, especially those borderless islands outside the sea boundary, are not only rich in spiritual energy, but also rich in various mineral deposits and 'medicine' resources, which have always been the primary targets of the four major sects. ”
"The subordinates mean that the Lord only needs to sign up for the competition for islands in the free sea. Although the islands within the free sea are also in the demon sea area, there is a sea boundary defense line in front of it, and the danger of encountering the invasion of the sea clan is much lower. However, those islands outside the sea boundary are different, not only will they be attacked by the beast 'tide' and the sea clan from time to time, but they may also be attacked by other sects, which is impossible to guard. Xing Xiao added after Zhou Tong's words.
Hearing this, Wu Yan finally had some clues. However, listening to the meaning of these two people's words, it seems that if they don't join the four major sects, they won't be able to gain a foothold in these three seas at all.
Originally, he had planned to find an island with a relatively strong aura in the waters of Shenmu Island to settle down, but he didn't expect things to be so complicated.
He had too many secrets on him, and he didn't even think about joining any sect. Besides, he didn't lack cultivation techniques, and it didn't make much sense to join the sect. He just wanted to have a place to stay, recover his cultivation in peace, and then find a way to return to the Tianzhou Continent.
Now it seems that this idea is a bit unrealistic.
"Listening to what you mean, if you don't join the Heavenly Dao Sect or the island master who is attached to the sea area of Shenmu Island, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the sea area of Shenmu Island?" Wu Yan frowned, and asked with some reluctance.
"Not bad. Not only the Heavenly Dao Sect, but also the other three major sects, the same. Of course, fortunately, now that there is this 'Island Capture Conference', the casual cultivators still have a head start, and in the past, the life of the casual cultivators was really difficult. Xing Xiao sighed and said.
"By the way, Lord, if you want to participate in this 'Island Capture Conference', it is best to prepare in advance. In the free sea area, the owner of the low-level island must be the cultivation of the foundation building period, and the middle-level island requires at least the cultivation of the Dan period. Moreover, if you sign up for the 'Island Capture Conference', you also need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones to the Sea Hunting Alliance. I heard that in the last 'Island Capture Conference', the competition for low-level island owners was 1,000 spirit stones, and the competition for middle-level island owners was 20,000 spirit stones. Of course, you can also pay with magic crystals and soul stones. Lord, although your current demonic cultivation has reached the foundation building period, I am afraid that it is not appropriate to use this identity to participate in this 'Island Capture Conference', if you are targeted by the people of the Blood Demon Sect, it will be troublesome. And the realm of your Immortal Dao Exercises, my lord, is still at the tenth layer of the Qi Refining Period, and it has not yet reached the standard of low-level island competition. Zhou Tong secretly glanced at Wu Yan with some concern.
"In this case, we still need to find a place to settle down for the time being, and we can only sign up when I have recovered my cultivation during the foundation building period?"
The rules in this place are really depressing. Moreover, the power of this Sea Hunting Alliance is so great that it has controlled the entire Sumeru Sea. If you don't find an identity that can hide your origin, and don't trust yourself under the protection of the Sea Hunting Alliance, if something happens to the island in the future, you will inevitably be retaliated by the Blood Demon Sect. That's trouble.
"By the way, are there any restrictions on the competition for the owners of those islands outside the sea boundary?"
"Lord, if you want to participate in the competition for low-level island owners in the Free Sea, you must have the cultivation of the foundation building period before you can sign up. There is indeed a time limit for registration. All those who want to participate in the competition for the island must report one year before the start of the 'Island Capture Conference'. There are still three years to go before the 'Island Capture Conference'. The Lord has two years to prepare. As for the competition for those island owners in the demon sea area outside the sea boundary, whether it is a low-level or a middle-level island owner, there is no restriction on cultivation, as long as you can pay enough spirit stones, you can participate in the competition. Although Xing Xiao didn't know what Wu Yan was planning, he still explained to Wu Yan carefully.
"Oh, there are no restrictions? Doesn't that mean that the competition for the open sea is even more 'fierce' than for the Free Sea? After all, anyone can sign up. Wu Yan frowned.
"Oh, Lord, you can't say that. You must know that ordinary casual cultivators, how can they have so many spirit stones in their hands? Moreover, ordinary casual cultivators are not strong, and there is no sect or family support behind them, even if they really sign up for the competition of the outer sea island masters, where can they have the ability to resist the invasion of the sea clan and the beast 'tide'?
